Description
An addition to a memorial on a family grave comprising a white marble headstone accompanied by kerbstones. The headstone is in the style of an open book supported on a simple stand and the kerbs are mainly plain oblong although the eastern kerb has an inscription on its chamfered face. The inscriptions are inlaid in upright capital block lettering. The plain oblong kerbs have the maker's mark incised at the foot in sentence case lettering. The mason's mark is incised at the foot of the kerbs but is eroded and difficult to read.
